Partizan of Fuenlabrada, much more than a name

More than 2,000 kilometers separate Fuenlabrada from Belgrade, yet a strong historical bond connects the cities through the basketball club Partizan and former coach Zeljko Obradovic.

During the Yugoslav war, the Partizan team was forced into exile. FIBA barred them from playing in Belgrade, prompting a search for a new home. They found it in Fuenlabrada, a small Madrid suburb with a population of just 77,000. This unexpected union began in the early 1990s and has lasted decades. milkshake.it.com
